I don't think its fair to strictly talk about land usage.
What about the chemicals non-organic farmers use? What kind environmental footprint do they have? Going of course ALL the way back to what it takes to manufacture those chemicals, ship them, spray them, and what kind of effect it then has on the crop when it gets to the consumer and we eat them.
